1.) Between Ashemir and Analisia, but if you ask to join, we'll probably let you without a hitch.
2.) Order in the court, blah blah blah.
3.) I want a potato.
------
Ashemir sat on the bench beside Issilt's grand fountain, listening to the musicians play while he pretended to write more in his small black notebook. It was well into afternoon, and Ashemir made sure to sit where he could be shaded by the marble willow. Seriah was gone catching up with Valmar, which just left him and Draven alone in the house.
And Lord knew he could only take so much of Draven in one day.
And then there was Marrus apparently lurking around, but no matter how insane a vampire was, the blonde didn't believe he would attack in broad daylight while the town guard were still stationed and making rounds. He glanced up from his pretend writings, having only brought the notebook because he was suspicious of the thought that Draven would start flipping through it. He prayed to whatever higher deity that may exist that the dark-haired vampire didn't go through his pack while Ashemir was out....

Analisia walked around the town center, she had broken off from Banez, Simon, and Travis. It was too difficult to travel with so many at one time. Sighing, she looked around for the tavern of this town, why couldn't it be easier to find? Analisia pushed off the hood of her cloak, exposing her long braid and serious expression. She walked up to the the fountain at the middle of the town and stood up on one of the benches across from it to see if she could get a better view of the city, and more importantly, the tavern.
She had remembered Ashemir mentioning this town, but she didn't really expect to find him here. It was just a nice place to escape to after what happened in the mountains. In trying to stand taller, she stretched her torso too far and ended up curled up in pain and emitting a small yelp. Stupid wound still had yet to heal...

Ashemir almost jumped when he heard the yelp and turned around to see who had made it among the dappling of people. His brows raised when he saw Analisia looking over the crowd, and was drawing a little attention to herself because of it. Oh great, why was she here? And where was her boy toy?
Well, it wasn't as though he'd be able to hide forever, and she might harp incessantly if she caught him while he tried to avoid her. The blonde pointedly shut his notebook with a SNAP and stood up from the bench, raising his hand to help the werewolf notice him, since today he wasn't wearing a smell that she was familiar with on him: orange blossoms.

Analisia saw everyone look at her and started to get down from the bench, slightly embarrased. Startled, she heard a book snap and saw a hand rise into the air. She followed the arm down to the person it belonged to. "Ashemir!" She said excitedly and jumped down from the bench, running over to the Vampire. She threw her arms around him before she could think and hugged him close. Then flinched at his strong perfume. "Oranges Ashemir?" She said while pulling away, any trace of a blush gone from her cheeks. "I thought you like apples."

Ashemir wasn't sure why she seemed so excited, but he felt exponentially more anxious when Analisia ran over to him. He was just about ready to turn and flee before she wrapped her arms around him, and then he was just too shocked to move. Wait, what? Why? When she pulled away, he quickly took a step back. "I can like more than one fruit," he answered. "And Valmar's flunky-bitch would know it was me if it was apples now. Where's your friend?" He supposed Travis was the sort of person to duck in and out, considering his job. Then he smelled a trace amount of blood, glancing briefly to her side. She HAD made a pained sound.... "Are you hurt?" he asked, in a tone as blank as ever.

Analisia smiled at Ashemir's reaction to her hug. It amused the hell out of her. He mentioned Zephyr, and then her wound. The two thoughts together made her snarl in disgust. "That little flunky managed to get a silver knife into my stomach.... Dont worry, she is no where around here, and if she is, she is beyond dead." The snarl was slow to leave her face, but soon enough it did, and she was smiling again. "As for Travis, we parted ways for the moment. He had.... company with him, and I couldn't take being around so many at once for so long. Too much..." She shakes her head, it was true for the most part. With just a few details left out. She put a hand to her stomach to check the wound and found that the blood had seeped through her bandage slightly. "Damn it... I am going to kill that slut..." She mumbles softly to herself before smile back up at Ashemir. "So what have you been up to?"

His brows raised in surprise when it sounded like Analisia and Zephyr had gotten into a scuffle. He thought that the werewolf of all people could roll with the punches, but then, he remembered, Zephyr had gotten very self-righteous when he had tried to smack some sense into her. He wasn't sure what to make of Travis' company, and it wondered if it was appropriate to ask. "So you decided that you would come to pester me," he said. His violet eyes gained an eager glint however, when she mentioned killing Zephyr, "I hope you wait for me to help you, then. I have the feeling she's more trouble than she's worth for every side."
What HAD he been up to? He remembered Yeszlin and immediately felt guilty, considering his company, not that his face showed it. Yeah... he'd just keep that to himself.... "There's another mortally-challenged person roaming around here, who thinks he can do anything he likes. Other than looking out for him, nothing in particular. No news yet if I can go home."

Analisia shook her head. "No, I didn't know if you would still be here or not, but I remembered you mentioning the place and thought it might be a nice escape. Pleasant to say the least." Then Ashemir mentioned wanting to kill Zephyr along side her. "Hmmm wouldnt that be interesting, but I guess it would work, mutual enemy and all. I would love to have your help in killing Zephyr, you get the first punch, but the killing strike I claim. Bitch got me... I don't think she understands that she started a blood fued...." With a small chuckle Analisia sat down on the bench and winced as her cut wound moved again. Then looked up at Ashemir. "Another one of you leechs roaming the streets, hopefully this one isn't as pretty as you. I don't want to have to keep from killing him as well." She smirks and motions for Ashemir to sit beside her.

A blood feud? Well, any reason of Analisia's to kill Zephyr was fine with him. And he didn't plan on spilling her blood, so he should be fine, so long as certain information was kept under wraps. "It's all yours. But I want her tongue." Then it might not cause him so much grief. His cheeks flushed lightly again as she hopped onto the topic of Marrus, and he glanced away as though focused too much on the fountain water to hear what she was saying. "Ehh," Ashemir said in response to Marrus' looks with a teetering hand. Marrus might be Draven's twin, but Ashemir would be damned if he admitted that the psychopath's creator had been generous. "When he opens his mouth, it doesn't matter what he looks like. You can tell he's rotten inside," he said, sitting next to Analisia.

Chuckling at Ashemir's response about the other vampire, she shrugged. "Then again, that could be said about you." She gives him a pointed look and laughs again. It was too amusing to not be said. Looking around at the people walking by, she frowned. "How many of them must be scared to death about what happened in the mountain, and how many must just not know." Turning to face Ashemir, her face hardened slightly. "Did you know anything like that was going to happen?" She looked at him in a way that probably read 'Dont even think about lying....'

Ashemir looked at Analisia, wondering if she really thought that with a confused expression. Well one, now he felt hurt, but two, she had just compared him to Marrus. He considered leaving again to feel indignant and upset by himself, maybe wander around a little so that he wouldn't lead Analisia to Seriah's house. But then she mentioned something about the mountain, and Ashemir furrowed his brows. (But let him not be seen as forgetful.) "What happened?" he asked, sounding concerned. This seemed serious....

Bowing her head, Analisia sighed. "I wasn't present for most of it..." She didn't know how much she could trust Ashemir with the truth... It had seemed that he was away from the forces that had attacked, but was he still apart of it? "But from what I had seen and heard... The human forces went to investigate the moutain.. And instead met with a large force of vampires. They were of course, slaughtered. And.... And the pack wasn't there.... My kin, the gaurdians of man, we weren't there to protect them... I did what I could for the soldiers that escaped, provided them a safe way through the nearby forest. And then went to meet up with Travis.... And a few others. We were ambushed by a handful of vampires and that bitch... That is where I got injured... Not really my best fight either." She chuckles softly, but turns her head away from Ashemir. It was close enough to the truth to be believable, but it wasn't everything. She wouldn't give away Banez's escape from the mountain, it was too vital of information. "I am worried about my pack.. as much as I am worried about the humans. If they weren't there... I was going to go investigate it when I decided to turn to Issilt instead."

Ashemir wasn't exactly sure what to say to the whole story. It was a lot to process. Now the scuffle with Zephyr came full circle. And what's more, now the vampires were exposed. And they were attacking now. Did Seriah make that order? Ashemir was suddenly afraid that Analisia would drag him away like he and Seriah did with Yeszlin, and he drew his shoulders inward slightly. "Well... Naulus is south of Issilt," he said in a daze.

Analisia sighed. "I dont even know if I will be allowed into Nualus... My exile isn't over yet." She shuts her mouth instantly and shakes her head, Ashemir was not the person to talk to that about. Travis must have been getting to her. "I will probably head there after a few trips to the tavern here, heard they have a pretty strong brew. Care to join me for a drink sometime?" She smiles over at Ashemir, her eyes the only thing showing the sadness the thoughts of her pack had brought up.

Exile... it had to be some odd twist of fate that he and Analisia had found each other when they did. Shutting up about each other's fall from good favor was fine with Ashemir. He was still healing from that injustice. At her offer, he turned his head back at her, picking up the look in her eyes. He supposed he'd be lonely too if he had to be separated from the people he had gotten to know in this short time as well. "I don't drink, but I could sit with you."
